Welcome to the website for CACHE Modules on Solar Energy. The goal of this project is to develop modules that bring energy technology into the traditional curricula for chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering. The site allows faculty members around the world to have easy access to these modules.

The above table lists the various energy areas for which modules have been or will be developed.

This material is part of the Hydrogen Education Curriculum at Michigan Technological University and at Mississippi State University.

The following table lists the related modules.  Each module contains a brief background or motivation, an example problem with a solution, and a homework problem. For access to the homework problem solutions, please contact Jason Keith by email at keith at che dot msstate dot edu.
